I have four two-day-old Runner ducklings that I put in with some week-old Cochin chicks, and I was worried about how the chicks would treat the ducklings....I put them in, and immediately, one of the chicks walked up and pecked one of the ducklings in the face!

The duckling looked up at that chick and nipped it right back!

Now, the ducklings rule the brooder.

Congrats on your Ninja!

I think your three week old Pekin is beautiful, in that picture she appears to have the sweetest Lady Madonna smile on her beak!

Your BEI on the other hand is soo cute he/she is obviously going to be trouble "cause he/she can't do no wrong in Momma's eyes"!

Your Ninja is so cute! I have to ask though, I recently got a cayuga baby that looks JUST like your BEI. I understand they BOTH get the beetle green shine to them when they are older....how can you tell the difference btw BEI and Cayuga?

Not sure to be honest, I know they aren't supposed to be as loud as call ducks. Right now the Pekins are definitely louder.

In our brooder the Pekins definitely rule, but the little Ninja doesn't care. 1 minute he/she is hanging with the Pekins and the next he/she is hanging with the 2 black chicks in the brooder (a turken and a jersey giant)

I can't believe how quickly Ninja fit in. Ducks rule!

Thank you! The Pekins are really cute, they are such oafs though.

The BEI is so adorable, mostly because he/she doesn't seem to have a clue to how tiny it is next to the others.

That is an excellent question. To be honest they look the same and I wouldn't know the difference if they were together at this age. This little one came from a box labeled BEI at the auction. Our friends have cayuga and I know they get much larger. I'm sure this little one will teach me a lot.
